EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION [WL-3]


id0140b5807600

Note
•  Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Resistance Inspection

1.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

2.  Measure the resistance between EGR valve connector terminals A and B.

•  If not within the specification, replace the EGR valve.
•  If as specified, carry out the “Voltage Inspection”.
Resistance
Approx. 5 kilohm

Voltage Inspection

1.  Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).

2.  Set the M-MDS and monitor the EGRVP PID.

•  If not as specified, perform the “Circuit Open/short Inspection”.
―  If there is no open/short circuit replace the EGR valve. (See EGR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)
EGRVP PID (Reference)
Approx. 0.6 V

3.  Start the engine and warm up the engine completely.

4.  Monitor the EGRVP PID.

•  If not as specified, perform the “Circuit Open/Short inspection”.
―  If there is no open/short circuit replace the EGR valve. (See EGR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)
EGRVP PID (Reference)
Above 3.0 V


CIrcuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)

2.  Disconnect the EGR valve position sensor connector.

3.  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses.

•  If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
